IS had already claimed responsibility for the attack in the Crocus City Hall music complex, in a suburb of the Russian capital, on Friday evening. “IS fighters attacked a large gathering of Christians in Krasnogorsk, on the outskirts of the Russian capital Moscow,” said a statement on Telegram. “They killed and injured hundreds of people and caused widespread destruction before safely retreating to their bases,” the text continues.
